I recently picked up a vomiting bug from my grandchildren. I’m mostly over it, but my stomach still feels queasy, and I feel exhausted. Is there a remedy I could take?

Certain herbal remedies may help settle your stomach and restore your energy levels. The first is raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus), more commonly recognised as a tea to help with childbirth preparation. It provides nutrients such as calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, and E and helps to reduce nausea and vomiting. The herb is also handy to have around to help prevent future stomach bugs from taking hold.
